Customer Reviews
It’s pretty good.
Duolingo’s Spanish podcasts are nice and even though I don’t understand any of the Spanish, I still pick up words I didn’t know and ask my parents what it means.
Inappropriate!!!!
Terrid horrid terrible horrible inappropriate
😬👎
The name kind of implies that it’s for kids, but some of the episodes are NOT kid friendly!
